I like to think that he forgets, keeps trying and then makes a new post about it

Check out immich, I use that self hosted and it’s exactly like Google photos. It even has optional facial recognition.

There’s no way any amount of hats they can sell would make a dent in a wasted 8 year long development that had like 700 players max. They’re even removing the merch from the store, I’d imagine the bad PR of having these things around is worse than getting the money from selling them.

Yeah their other stuff was even worse. They had a mug, a t-shirt and a hoodie. Those 3 things had cheap letters put on that looked like they would come off in a couple washes. I only got the hat because it had a patch that couldn’t wash off. It’s all very generic and low effort.

They had problems selling it on gear.playstation.com, I had to contact like 3 support people and they eventually submitted a manual order directly to the warehouse (?). They said they had an order to remove certain items from the site but it hadn’t gone through yet. They didn’t specify which items, but I’m sure you can make a good guess.

Edit: The title is just a meme, but I did legitimately buy one of these just to have a memento of the biggest flop in gaming history.

Alternate twitch player or something like that

My substandard pizza is like $4, edible crust isn’t worth the difference when an upgrade is slightly less substandard pizza.

No script lets you individually allow js on certain sites, even specific sources. Block all by default, allow safe sites or temporarily allow other sites based on need. I started doing that this year and it hasn’t been nearly as much trouble as I thought it would be.

Exactly, so use Proton :P

I haven’t noticed since I started exclusively using plex for all of my media except YouTube. Highly recommend.

Ah damn. I use sharex but was wanting to switch to Linux. Is there a unanimously agreed upon best replacement for sharex? Might as well try flameshot.

And it still looks and plays like a game from 10 years ago. (Still very fun, but damn.)

I eat so much meat that my life expectancy went negative and rolled over to the maximum allowed value of 2,147,483,647 years.

Hey, I have this idea for a new cryptocurrency. It’s going to be huge I swear

Mostly to do with the permissions system. I want a hierarchical set of categories and channels, and I want to be able to set one user as a privileged user, and instantly get access to all of those channels, or some of them, depending on the permissions settings. I also want some users to be able to see some channels, but not all, with only a single join action. In discord you join the “server” and you get all channels unless permissions specify otherwise. Then when you get a role, you may be able to instantly see and use several other channels. Some servers let you choose your own roles, and manually give you others, to customize what you can see and interact with.

With matrix there are… permissions. But they can’t be inherited by a room from some sort of category, it’s hard or impossible to automatically hide some rooms from users who join a space, with an option to instantly give them access to those rooms with an easily configurable toggle. Rooms tend to act like their own space sometimes, and each can have their own invite which is annoying. I want them to act as a collection under a single membership, just like you can join a single discord server, and whether or not you see them, all channels are contained in that server and getting access to those channels is a matter of role permissions. I also vaguely remember having trouble with the admin stuff and adding other admins/moderators to my matrix space, but I can’t remember what problems I had with that.

Basically it’s hard to make a large matrix space with many many rooms that have different purposes. Not to mention the lack of forum channels, those are required for my type of large community.

I have a few hundred people in my community. I imagine it’s much worse with larger communities.

Edit: now that I think about it, my moderator team even looked up some of the missing features, and the matrix devs had stated that they are not planned, and that is not the direction they want to take matrix in. Which is fine, but that means it has a completely different use case than something like discord for communities.

I run a large community, it’s not just a matter of asking people to contact me elsewhere. You can’t uproot a community and bring it somewhere else, and I wouldn’t be able to at all because of matrix’s and revolt’s lack of permissions systems, bots, and other things that are unique to discord. I would welcome a viable alternative. I’ve spent many hours trying to make matrix work with the functionality I need, and it’s simply not possible.

As far as the link goes, I’m not sure if those rules mean the links themselves must not contain tracking, or that the website on the other end must not contain tracking. You can have youtube links that themselves have no tracking information in it. You can’t just ban links to any site with tracking, you’d just have nothing you can link to.

Edit: the rule also says “isn’t great”. That’s not the same as “isn’t allowed”. Forcing someone onto a frontend that either doesn’t work for them or is annoying to use I think is worse than letting users redirect themselves using a “tracking filled website” link.

I use LibRedirect. It can handle youtube links and redirect them to a number of frontends. It can also directly open freetube. It’s a firefox extension.

I tried revolt and… It sucks. None of my friends are on revolt. None of my bots work on revolt. Same with matrix. Matrix is horrible for large communities where discord offers inheritable permissions, forum channels, channels that only some users can see, its just not the same use case at all.

Also please link the original YouTube link. I don’t like invidious, I have my own preferred frontend. Don’t force people to use the frontend that you like. I use freetube, which is just as private and better for my needs. But I can’t automatically open freetube if you don’t link the original YouTube link. Same with people who use literally any other frontend than invidious.

Thank you for this post. I was reading by and wouldn’t have understood those comments unless I saw your post.

Ah, I am mistaken then. I thought they were just as easy. Good to know you can still revoke them if need be, though.
